高中英语指导：及物动词的用法及其讲解（1）

“及物动词+介词+宾语”(transitive verb+preposition+object)，是常见的一种。所谓及物动词，就是谓语动词(predicative verb)，不必通过介词引荐宾语。相反的，不及物动词(intransitive verb)是不带宾语的。有许多动词，虽然性质是及物的，但不一定要有宾语，如下列的①a和②a便是这种情形：

①a. We study every day.

b. Do you study English every day.

②a. Please write clearly next time.

b. Can you write your composition now?

如果本质上就是不及物动词，就不会有宾语;若要宾语，就要借介词之助，一起连用才行，如③b和④b;③a和④a是错的;

*③a. The children are listening the music.

b. The children are listening to the music.

*④a. She is laughing the crippled man.

b. She is laughing at the crippled man.

反之，及物动词不必靠介词，就可以带宾语，如上述的①b和②b ，又如⑤和⑥：

⑤ John is giving a book to me.

⑥ Who will answer this question?

如果无意中把介词加上，就错了，如：

*⑦ Who will answer to this question?

下列这句从房地产广告中看到的句子，也犯了同样的错：

“We have many buyers awaiting for available units here.”

“Awaiting”是个及物动词，后面的介词“for”是多余的，要去掉;不然把“awaiting”改为“waiting for”也行。

许多人习惯上喜欢把介词加到及物动词后面，然后才带出宾语。最常见的是“emphasize/stress on/upon”和“discuss about”，如：

⑧ Singaporeans seem to have emphasized on material gains.

⑨ In our education system, we stress upon examination results.

⑩ World leaders spent a lot of time discussing about worsening economic problems.
